Maisie Smith has left her besotted fans in disbelief this evening as she's shared a rather rare snap of her gorgeous mum.

The EastEnders actress, 18, has been documenting her time spent in lockdown with her 600,000 Instagram followers by treating them to an array of stunning selfies, and jaw-dropping videos of herself singing.

It was soap starlet Maisie's latest post that sent tongues wagging though, as herself and her lookalike mother Julia posed up a storm for the camera.

The flame haired duo can be seen smiling as they pose side-by-side looking like "sisters" according to the EastEnders star's fans.

The actress, who plays Tiffany Butcher on the BBC soap, stuns in a low-cut neon pink top and her signature bronzey makeup look.

Meanwhile, her gorgeous mum Julia looks the picture of elegance during lockdown as she's dolled up to the nines in navy denim shirt which she styled with a number of dangling necklaces.

Alongside the video of the stunning pair, Maisie wrote: "We found good lighting and had a photo shoot".

It didn't take long for her doting fans to dish out the compliments as they flocked to the comment section to share their love for the gorgeous mother-daughter duo.

"Wow, I cannot believe that this is your mother, she's more like your sister! So beautiful!" wrote one baffled fan.

While a second echoed: "Both of you look so alike one another. Good genes definitely run in the family then!".

"What the hell, this is you mum??? I honestly reckoned she was your sister! What a hottie!" a third commented.

She said that her own anxieties have flared up as a consequence of being told to stay away from friends, practice social distancing and staying home.

"I’ve started feeling much happier within myself recently but since the lockdown has happened it’s ­definitely magnified my anxiety in a way" she told The Sun.

“I’m trying to share with people that it’s all right and normal right now to not feel OK. I’m not feeling 100 per cent and I don’t think anyone is because it’s a scary time for everyone. So I just thought I would highlight that,” she added.
